Wichard Double Block 55mm for 12mm Rope

The Wichard 64205 Double Plain Bearing Block combines high load capacity, durable marine-grade materials and a compact design for reliable use on board.

Its two 55 mm composite sheaves operate on stainless steel bushes using a plain bearing system. This simple and robust construction is designed to withstand high loads and is particularly well suited to applications with relatively static loading.

Designed for 12 mm rope, the double-sheave configuration makes the 64205 ideal for creating efficient multi-part purchase systems where greater mechanical advantage is required.

Swivel Head for Flexible Installation

The swivel head provides greater flexibility when installing the block and allows it to align naturally with the direction of the load.

Wichard’s universal head design also provides a wide choice of fastening possibilities, making the 64205 suitable for different deck and rigging configurations.

Strong Marine-Grade Construction

The head and load straps are manufactured from 316L stainless steel, providing excellent strength and resistance to corrosion in the marine environment.

Lightweight POM cheeks protect the sheaves, while the sheaves themselves are manufactured from composite material. The terminal fitting is also made from 316L stainless steel.

With a working load of 800 kg, a breaking load of 1500 kg and a total weight of 315 g, the Wichard 64205 delivers impressive strength in a compact format.
